Napoli went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer against the Astros on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

His last seven games had seen him go 1-for-26 with a solo homer and a dozen strikeouts, so this long ball was a welcome contribution for Napoli owners, but 2-for-31 isn't much of an improvement. Although he's likely to crack 30 homers -- he's at 28 now -- this has still been the worst season of Napoli's career, as he's struggling even to reach the Mendoza Line, with his average currently lingering at .195. He isn't even drawing bases on balls like he used to, as Napoli's on pace to break a six-season streak of finishing with at least a 12 percent walk rate; he's at just 8.7 percent in 2017.
